STEVIE NICKS"My creativity went away. I became what I call the ‘whatever’ person. I didn’t care about anything anymore…." - Stevie Nicks, on tranquilizer addiction Stevie Nicks, lead singer of Fleetwood Mac, went public about her 5-year absence from the music scene: she’d been addicted to a tranquilizer, Klonopin, prescribed to her by a psychiatrist for cocaine withdrawal: "I went to a psychiatrist. It was a bad decision….[he] put me on this medication that nearly destroyed my career, nearly destroyed me, nearly destroyed my parents—because they just lost me for those years…." Nicks spoke of the intense difficulty she had withdrawing from Klonopin: "[It] was killing me…I was in there [drug rehab] sick for 45 days, really, really sick. And I watched generations of drug addicts come in and go out. You know, the heroin people, 12 days...and they’re gone. And I’m just still there." |
